    Based on the information I've found, there's no specific mention of integrating Clay with Looker Studio or Power BI. However, Clay offers various data enrichment and URL-related functionalities that could potentially be useful in your data workflow.We have actions to normalize domains, validate URLs, and parse data from URLs. These features could help prepare and clean your data before importing it into analytics tools like Looker Studio or Power BI.To better assist you, could you provide more details about what kind of data you're working with and what specific integration you're looking to achieve between Clay and these analytics platforms?

    Hey Pedram, thanks for reaching out! It looks like both Power BI and Looker Studio have a publicly accessible API which means that we could use our HTTP API function in Clay with the available API's that they offer. Would love to learn a bit more about your use case, what are you hoping to integrate with these softwares for? or hoping to achieve? :)

    I want to create Charts and Graphs from the data within the Clay.com table. I want this process to be fully automated as well.

    Got it! Super a cool use case! With Clay, most ideas like these are usually possible. This is something that would have to be experimented with and will take a bit of time to dial in, curious though, how comfortable are you with working with APIs and pushing or pulling data between different software tools?

    I'm comfortable. I could write basic scripts and integrate with APIs and all. I just wouldn't know the right approach to integrating all the data from Clay.com table into Looker. It would have been ideal to have a SQL-like query I could perform on the table as opposed to inserting the data into Looker studio with an API call

    You get what I mean?

    Gotcha, that makes sense, is there a way you could perform a SQL-like query from Looker.com into a different database such as Google Sheets or Airtable? We could then push data from Clay into a separate data base and run queries from Looker to pull data from that database if that's possible. I'm not incredibly familiar with Looker.com in particular so I'm unsure what's exactly possible on their end.

    So you're suggesting to send the data from Clay into a database (such as PostgreSQL) and then query the data from Looker? Do you guys have integrations for pushing the table data into a database seamlessly or do I have to do it with an HTTP api?

    If you'd rather query the data from Looker (given this is possible) to capture the data found in Clay, instead of pushing data from Clay directly into Looker via an HTTP API column, I am suggesting that having a separate database such as PostgreSQL (which is able to be queried from) act as a middleman between the two softwares is an option that would be worth checking out, yes! We have direct integrations directly with Google Sheets, Airtable, Snowflake, and Summit. If you're hoping to get data into PostgreSQL and maintain the dynamic aspect of this data you would have to use an HTTP API. Hope this helps! Let me know how else I can assist here or if you have any other questions. :)
